An amphibious vehicle 1 comprises a drive train, a plurality of ground engaging wheels 16 and 18 and a hull 20 which defines a passenger compartment. The form/shape of the hull below the waterline is substantially defined by a plurality of buoyancy modules 31 to 37 that are demountably mountable to the amphibious vehicle. The buoyancy modules may define the bow and stern of the vehicle. The application also discloses a water propulsion system for an amphibious vehicle in which hydraulic power is provided by hydraulic pumps to two hydraulically powered pods (40, Fig 4) comprising a hydraulic motor coupled to a propeller (41, Fig 4). The application also discloses a cooling system for an amphibious vehicle where one or more radiators (50, Fig 3) are in fluid communication with an engine 14 of the vehicle and are located externally of the hull. |
